Bob's been on a roll since last week -- hope an '80s set doesn't trip him up.
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

starting with Genesis -- not a good omen.  Must be some misunderstanding, indeed!

VHM Christopher Cross "Ride Like The Wind", just because it could have been "Sailing" from the way Bob was talking & it wasn't.

OMGWTF! BOS5 Rod the Bod! "Passion", one of his many radio-friendly singles of that decade.  Bob is kicking butt today, and that doesn't happen often with '80s sets.

Who's playing that piano, I wonder?

Bob's playing a bunch of songs that take me back to dorm dances my freshman year of college, including this Rod Stewart.

I can't say I am really enjoying the tunes in this set very much, but they sure as hell are taking me back.  

"Turn Me Loose", indeed.

Well, I'm sure not gonna BOS "Turn Me Loose" (I still can't tell the diff between Saga and Loverboy), but I am enjoying this set, it's not exactly the "usual suspects" mode Bob often goes into with the '80s.

and a minor quibble: that Tonight Show clip mentioning Yahoo Serious couldn't possibly be from 1980, since Mr Serious' Young Einstein came out in '88.
